Okay, this is totally opinion, and I would like as much input as I can get from diverse points of view.

Lets say we're in a Sword & Planet situation. The main protag is a female native of the setting planet. She's around 25 years old. She's an Ebrani Ranger, which means she a skilled hunter and tracker and an excellent climber. Needless to say, she's in extremely good physical condition. Nevertheless, she finds herself rescued by the hermit she was seeking. He is from Earth. He's just shy of twice her age in appearance, but he doesn't age here. He has a wife back on Earth and has no idea that she also has a manifestation in the setting world here. Fact is, he left his position as a Luminary in the College of Esoterics in the City of the Sun to avoid the fairer sex as much as to avoid the politics of society and now has lived alone in a cave for over twenty years. He's not been with a woman since his advent here because of his loyalty to her. So . . . turns out my female protag wants to seduce him. How do each of these characters reason through this? >>

He is definitely fascinated by the young woman, but is socially clumsy and resents her powers to tempt him. On the other hand, he's a sorcerer here and so knows that the woman is indispensable to his longterm plans.

She resents his power over her, which she doesn’t even understand. But she is also intrigued with him because of his self-contradictions as well as the fact that he is so contrary to all her preconceptions based on legends of him. She is very much drawn to him physically. She is also drawn to the legend. And the Ranger in her wants the conquest.

What are the moral implications? Is he cheating on his wife if he allows himself to be seduced? Does it make him despicable?>>
